I usually make 5 different gimmick theme teams and then realize which pokedudes are useful and make a good team from there

Right now I'm at:

Drampa
Dancing Bird
Mimikyu
Salandit
Alola Muk

Who will be the last one to make the cut?

Muk has pretty solid stats but has always suffered from being mono-Poison, so this Dark-type addition (not to mention sweet STAB Crunch) makes him that much more usable. You think they'll swap his Def and Sp.Def to fit with the crystal theme?

The EXP share is in. Take advantage of it and do lots of rotating out.

I wish there were some sort of mode with increasing difficulty you could play through repeatedly with a new team... sort of like battle maison but with exp or other rewards

Thanks to the new exp share I will use way more pokemon than 1 team, but y'know at the end of the game only 6 pokemon are allowed at the Elite 4. Except Alola doesn't have that so maybe i'm worrying about nothing.

Flamenco bird is maybe one of my favorite things to come out of this gen so far. It's so classy.

Ribombee looks like a shout-out to the Tegamibachi anime series. Maybe. All I know is that bees + scarves = postal dudes with guns that fight monsters.

Also, I'm going to name my Jangmo-o Pangolin, because his design reminds me of one.

I'm kind of disappointed that Alolan Muk isn't part Rock to match. It'd be a unique typing to have, even if much worse than Poison/Dark. Aw, well. Here's hoping it gets a swap to special attacker so it can use its moveset again.

Tsareena is the real star of the show today, anyway.

Well it's using Gunk Shot against Clefable in the Japanese trailer, and nearly one shot it. Make of that what you will.

Ivysaur and Venusaur are half-flower by mass and 75% male. So is Meganium, but that line is more distinctly feminine in design and likely only skewed male to make breeding harder like all other starters.

Alolan Muck was shown to nearly one shot a Clefable in the Japanese trailer with Gunk Shot.

Stat changes for Alolan forms are definitely happening.

Uh, can't normal Muk easily one-shot Clefable with Gunk Shot?

Like, even careful Muk with 0 EVs in attack is a guaranteed KO on Bold Clefable with 252/252 HP/Def.

We don't know for sure if Tsareenas are always female. Lots of feminine looking Pokémon can be male (Gothelle), and lots of masculine looking Pokémon can be female (Machamp).
